One of the most relevant physics topics studied by ANTARES is the nature of dark matter. Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are the most popular set of candidates. If they are their own anti-particles, we could see the products of their annihilations, among them neutrinos. There are several astrophysical sources […]

Last week, from July 4th to July 9th, ANTARES physicists have participated in the biannual get together of neutrino physicists at the 27th International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics, Neutrino 2016 in London, England. On Monday, July 4th, in the session about neutrino astronomy, Antoine Kouchner (AstroParticle & Cosmology Laboratory, Paris, France) […]
On September 14th, 2015 at 9:50:45 UTC, a gravitational wave signal, labelled GW150914, was recorded by the LIGO Hanford (Washington, USA) and LIGO Livingston (Lousiana, USA) detectors. The official announcement of this detection is reported here. The 90% confidence level localization skymap of the potential source covers an area of 590 […]
